Celtic manager Martin O'Neill accepted substantial undisclosed libel damages today over a newspaper allegation that he was joining Liverpool. His solicitor, Paul Hackney, told Mr Justice Eady at London's High Court that the article in The Daily Record, in February last year, questioned Mr O'Neill's loyalty and commitment to Celtic, and his integrity. The piece followed publication, in January 2003, of Mr O'Neill's express denial that he would be leaving Celtic and of his agreement to a new contract with his employers. It stated that he had signed a legal document to join Liverpool and alleged that the agreement with the Merseyside club was concluded before Mr O'Neill announced the agreement of his new contract with Celtic.
